In the game between Sporting Lisbon and FC Barcelona, Thierry Henry scored his 25th goal for Barça in what was his 100th Champions League appearance.

November 26, 2008 was a landmark day for Thierry Henry, as he scored the first of the five goals for his team at the José Alvalade against Sporting Lisbon, which was also his 25th goal in an official match for the side he joined at the start of last season. Divided by competitions, he has scored 16 in the League, 5 in the Champions League (including 1 in the qualifier against Wisla Krakow) and 4 in the Copa del Rey.

A goal every three games

The French striker has scored those in 63 appearances, which makes for an average of 0.4 goals a game. He opened his account in the Champions League on September 19, 2007 against Lyon at the Camp Nou. That night he grabbed the third and final goal of the night for the team, for whom he has since gone on to score almost a goal every three games.

100 Champions League appearances

Thierry Henry has spent several years playing in the footballing elite with the likes of Arsenal, Monaco, Juventus and now Barça, making a total of 100 appearances in the Champions League, not including different qualifying games he has played for his different clubs.
